Our History

In March 2013, in order to be closer to its clients, Norway Registers Development AS, a Norwegian company, specialised in business enabling environments, decided to invest in East Africa and acquired 70 per cent shares of a Tanzanian company 360° Smart Consulting Ltd. The company has now changed its name to Norway Registers Development East Africa Limited.

NRD AS has more than 10 years of experience working in African countries, implementing register reforms and has recently started activities in the cyber security area. NRD EA is a continuation of NRD AS long term goal to make the benefits of new technologies in the war against cyber-crimes available for private and public sectors and improve business environments in East Africa.

Our approach

Our prior studies show that in Tanzania many organizations are struggling to derive true ROI from their projects. Many companies are spending significant time and energy on acquiring and implementing various technological solutions but receive little value from their investments. It was also noted that many firms do not know how to and cannot calculate how much their IT investments (like cost of hardware, software, salaries to IT staff etc.) contribute to the firm's annual profit.

In NRD EA, we always strive for a detailed understanding of our client's requirements and provide assurance that the organization maximizes its ROI via better utilization of their IT infrastructure, implementation of cyber security measures and aligning it with the rest of organization's resources.
